KINONDENA ng mga magsasaka sa pangunguna ng Pambansang Lakbayan ng Anakpawis para sa Lupa at Katarungan ang desisyon ng Commission on Elections na i-exempt ang Civilian Active Auxilliaries o dating CAFGU sa total gun ban.
Sa ipinalabas na press statement ng Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP), Pamalakaya at Anakpawis, mapanganib umano ang desisyon ng Comelec hinggil dito at hindi tama na payagan ang civilian active auxialliaries na magbitbit ng baril dahil identified ang mga ito bilang private armies at armed goons na warlord politicians sa buong bansa.
Sinabi ni KMP Secretary General Danilo Ramos, dapat anya ang tamang trato ng Comelec sa mga CAFGU ay ang tuluyang pagbuwag dito dahil marami na itong record ng human rights violations.
